Profile:
Growing up as a no-named orphan on Colony L2-V08744, the young boy who would become Duo Maxwell started his life. As a street kid, he had one close friend Solo, who died in an epidemic disease. He named himself Duo in memory of his friend, meaning they would always be together as a duo. Later, the Maxwell Church lead by Father Maxwell and Sister Helen, took in Duo. Soon, they died in an incident called the Maxwell Church Tragedy. To show his respect for the two people and to remember the most stable time of his life, he named himself Duo Maxwell, and the yard long braid that Sister Helen had. Very cheerful, jolly and optimistic person, he is always smiling and joking around to make people laugh. Among the other, rather serious pilots, he is the one who is always wearing a very disarming grin on his face. Very talkative, which not everyone seems to appreciate. Currently, a member of the Sweeper Group, Union Marine Corps Special Operations Group, Wings of Nemesis Squadron, and pilot of the Gundam Deathscythe Phantom and the Taurus Mobile Suit. Additionally, Duo has been trained and knows how to fight with a Japanese Katana, hand-to-hand fighting, Elemental Magic, becoming an Innate Yellow as a student to Bowen, Shampoo and Guile. Moreover, he is able to grow up to 50 feet for a maximum of 4 hours. Duo has received a set of power armor based off Deathscythe Hell. Additionally, Duo has picked July 18 as his official birthday, since he does not have one.

Personality

very cheerful, jolly and optimistic person, a quote that would help in showing this is when he is talking to Noin in Endless Waltz as he and Heero are making a run into the Colony to save Relena. "I'll think about it when the time comes. We don’t want to be late for the party. See ya. PS, Don't be upset if we don't leave any food for you." This is his way of looking at the worst of things and putting some light and humor into it, and not making the dark look to dark, but more gray. He loves to joke and he's always smiling and joking around to make people laugh, this way, he can keep people happy in this time when War and Death is strong. Among the other, rather serious pilots, he is the one who is always wearing a very disarming grin on his face. He also is very talkative, which not everyone seems to appreciate, and he is very easy to make friends with.

His general outlook on life is that of being happy and cheerful, even in the dark times. He feels, like the other Gundam Pilots or G-Boys that the Colonies and humanity need to be kept safe during the time of war, and that is why he is a Gundam Pilot and the pilot of the Deathscythe. The line "For the peace of the colonies, I'd gladly become Shinigami." He is saying that he will become Shinigami (can also be translated into 'Death', 'The Devil' or 'The God of Death'), if it means that the people of the Colonies, and later those on Earth will be safe. He does not want to take the lives of people unless he has to.

History

Duo was orphaned at an extremely young age. His parents both died leaving him alone. Unfortunately he was left on Colony L2-V08744, one of the worst colonies ever. Eventually, he found Solo. Some believe that Solo was an adult, others say that he was just an older teen. I've never seen the show, and he's not mentioned in EW so I can't really say. If he was an adult then he was young, because Duo considered him both father and brother. I personally believe that Duo wasn't the only orphan Solo took in, but that's just me. When Solo died, he was extremely sick and Duo was trying to find some medicine for him. One day after he had been searching for medicine Duo saw a man who Solo had been avoiding because he just hated Solo for some reason. The person shot Solo not knowing or caring that Duo was there. A few short years later Solo was shot and killed in front of Duo. Duo blamed himself ever since then.

A while later, Duo found himself at the Maxwell Church Orphanage. It was a building that served as both a Catholic Church and an orphanage for over 2,000 children like Duo. There Duo met Father Maxwell and Sister Helen. He grew to love both of them just as they loved him. Unfortunately, in After Colony 188, the whole church was burnt to the ground by rebels, with everyone except Duo Maxwell inside. He blamed himself for every single person's death. From here, he traveled until he sneaked onto a shuttle and was drawn into the world of piloting mobile suits.

In After Colony 192, Duo stowed away on a ship that was owned by Professor G and the Sweeper Group. He was discovered, but amazed Professor G on how he was able to crack his "perfect" security system. The man who took in Duo Maxwell, and made him the pilot of Deathscythe which he had developed. Just before Operation Meteor, Duo was given the Gundam Deathscythe by Professor G when Duo uncovered the true plans of Operation Meteor. It turned out Professor G let him take it because he also objected to the true Operation Meteor. Just before he left Duo admitted that if he was the God of Death then Professor G would be Pestilence.

Upon arriving in the Multiverse, Duo joined ht eUnion in the fight against the Confederationa nd has made a number of friends and enemies. Additionally, he is currently dating Freya.

Powers

Deathscythe Phantom: The XXXG-01D2P is a rebuilt from of the Gundam Deathscythe Hell. This new mobile suit, called the Deathscythe Phantom, has aspects form its previous form, and some new additions. Since the suit is based off Deathscythe Hell, it is still an imposing and lethal suit as its name entails. Powered by an ultracompact fusion reactor, output rated at 4500 kW, and equipped with a new beam cloak deflection barrier and intricate stealth system that keeps the suit practically invisible on radar and scanners. All of the ranged weapons are fire-linked, and can be fired separately or simultaneously. Its main weapon, is its massive beam scythe (scissors), stored in recharge rack on rear waist armor, hand-carried in use. Two additional melee weapons that the Deathscythe Phantom can use, a beam sword and two beam sickles. Moreover, the Gundam can transform into a waverider mode for additional speed, but with limited weapons. (See +powers/detail for specs)

Taurus Mobile Suit: Introduced shortly after the appearance of the dreaded Gundams, OZ's newest mobile suit, the OZ-12SMS Taurus (named after the second Zodiac sign meaning "bull") was a truly advanced unit, designed primarily for space combat but also serving well as a transformable fighter in atmosphere. Its mobility and high speed made the Taurus one of the most respected and feared mobile suits to be developed by OZ. However, the Taurus was designed with the new "mobile doll" system, turning the normally manned Taurus into an unmanned, highly reactive and accurate machine controlled by an AI system. The Taurus would find its way into the service of many factions, including the White Fang revolutionary army, the defense forces of the pacifist Sanc Kingdom, and even the secret Mariemaia Army the following year. Duo, Howard, the Union techs and the Sweepers took an existing Taurus Mobile suit, and updated it with a self-destruct system, EMP shielding, 3-D Doppler radar and two machine cannons. Moreover, the engines with more power to give it more speed comparable to the Gundam Deathscythe Hell. Repainting it and renaming it the UM-12SMS2 Taurus Mobile Suit, this suit is used as a high-speed attack craft, and the AI has been updated with all friend and foe information.

Combat Training & Inoue Katana: Duo has learned how to use a katana from Bowen and picked up several fighting styles with the weapon. He has spent his time practicing and learning more advance skills from Bowen. He has learned martial arts from Shampoo and can fight with his fist and defend himself adequately. Shinkai Inoue, the heir to the legacy of master swordmaker Kunisada, forged the Inoue Katana. Bowen gave this katana to Duo as a gift for him. Duo uses it when he practices the katas that Bowen showed him.

Sweeper Group & Education: Is an expert salvager and a member of the Sweeper Group, a salvaging group that picks up debris from battles to have them reused and sold to the Union to help them in rebuilding. Working with them, Duo is a skilled salvager and can find things of use in scarp yards. Being in the Multiverse, Duo has received an education. The education that he received covers a wide range of areas that are currently in the Multiverse. Finishing this, Duo now has at least the equivalent of a high school diploma.

Elemental Magic: Duo is a low-level Innate Yellow, trained by Guile and is able to cast three spells. Yellow Elements are those spells based on electricity and the ground, and has a weakness against Green Elements, which are plant-based attacks, poisons, and wind attacks.

Magical Flight & Limited Growth: Because Duo wanted to experience, what it is like to grow up to 50 feet tall, he asked Mag for help on something that can make him grow for a very limited amount of time, a maximum of 4 hours. The only way that this can happen, is with a ring that he wears on his finger. This ring activates when he thinks, growing up to 50 feet for a maximum of 4 hours. Additionally, Duo is able to fly thanks to a magical cloak from Mag that he purchased from him. The cloak is a navy blue and when Duo thinks, the cloak turns into angel wings with a blue tint.

Power Armor: Winry Rockbell has built a suit of power armor based off Deathscythe Hell for Duo to wear when he goes into a fight and not take his Gundam. This suit of armor looks just like Deathscythe Hell in appearance, and it even sports a smaller version of the ECM Hyper Jammers. The primary weapon is a beam scythe that is scaled to Duo's height, two .50 BMG. Mounted on the left arm is the buster shield, which houses a beam blade. The power armor increases Duo's strength from average to above average, able to lift up to 800 pounds without shorting out the power armor. Moreover, vernier thrusters give him the ability to fly.

Group Affiliations

Prometheus: Prometheus Squadron is responsible for providing rescue and retrieval capabilities to civilians or Union personnel, regardless of location. In some instances, the squadron is fully capable of conducting investigations and are encouraged to do so, in order achieve operational goals.

Wings of Nemesis: A first responder group for the Union, formed to get to the field first and provide a good example to keep the morale of the troops high. Comprised of the best and the brightest pilots the Union has to offer, along with some of the best technical minds available.

Major NPCs

The priest at the Maxwell Church, Father Maxwell handled the adoptions of the orphan children whom the Alliance caught. All the children were adopted except for young Duo, who chose to stay at the church under the watchful eyes of the Father and Sister Helen. Father Maxwell was very accommodating, allowing Duo to say or do most anything, simply saying "Boys will be boys." His honest hope was that the child would grow up to become the greatest priest in the colonies. Unfortunately, a group of rebels decided to hole up in the church to avoid the Alliance. Duo offered to steal a mobile suit for them, and thus was out of the church when the Alliance attacked. Father Maxwell was killed, but Sister Helen says that up until his last breath, he continued expounding on Heero Yuy's philosophy of non-violence.

A kindly nun, Sister Helen worked at the Maxwell Church and helped take care of Duo. When the youth refused to cut his long hair, Sister Helen braided it for him. Though she admonished him for still thinking like he was an orphan, and some of his stranger actions surprised, she still treated him with love and respect. One day, a group of rebels hid in the church and Duo offered to steal a Leo for them, but while he was out, the Alliance destroyed the church, killing everyone inside. Duo found the fatally wounded Sister Helen, who expressed her motherly love for him before passing away.

Solo was the leader of a group of orphans living on colony V08744. In AC 187, a virus broke out on the colony, but the vaccine was reserved for the rich. When Solo contracted the virus, his best friend sneaked into an Alliance base to steal the vaccine. Unfortunately he was too late, and Solo died, but the vaccine was given to the other orphans. Solo's friend, who never contracted the virus despite never receiving the vaccine, attributed it to his friend's protection, and named himself "Duo" in honor of his fallen friend.

Of German origin, Hilde was a volunteer soldier to the OZ Space Army, who signed up with the organization shortly after they made their move for space. Soon after joining, she attempted to recruit Duo Maxwell, discovering rather suddenly that he was a Gundam pilot. Some time after Duo's capture, Hilde quit OZ and became an artist, letting Duo stay in her apartment after he escaped. When White Fang rose up, Hilde broke into Libra to steal data on the mobile dolls and met Relena. During her escape, she was attacked by mobile doll versions of Vayeate and Mercurius and was almost killed when Duo came to her rescue. The two are never explicitly said to be a couple, but many of their actions suggest that they may be. Hilde appeared again at the end of Endless Waltz, working with Duo at her scrapyard.

One of the original engineers who designed the Tallgeese, along with the men who would become the Gundam engineers. Unlike them, however, he chose to live a relatively calm life, operating a salvage boat on Earth as part of the Sweeper Group. During Operation Meteor, he helped Duo and Heero; later in the conflict, he retrieved Peacemillion, which he co-created. Howard survives the Eve Wars and stays at the former Lunar Base as custodian of the Gundams. His Hawaiian shirts and wraparound shades make him the most colorfully dressed character in the series.

The engineer and creator of Deathscythe, as well as co-creator of the spaceship Peacemillion and Duo's mentor. He is distinguished by his long nose, mushroom-shaped hair and a long scar on his cheek. Sardonic and, like Doctor J, rather eccentric, he tends to describe Deathscythe as "the ultimate work of art", perhaps due to his specialization in stealth systems. A member of the Sweeper group, he was impressed by Duo cracking his security codes and offered to train him as a Gundam pilot. When Duo refused to go along with Dekim Barton's original Operation Meteor, Prof. G told him to steal Deathscythe and fight the Alliance on his own terms. Killed in the re-activation of Peacemillion's engines with his fellow scientists.

The engineer and creator of Wing Gundam and Heero's mentor, he is an expert in the field of beam weaponry. His distinguishing features include mechanical-looking goggles and a cybernetic right arm. Quirky but affable, Doctor J is immensely proud of Heero's abilities and encourages the young man to choose his own fate, including protecting Darlian and rejecting Operation Meteor. It was J who picked out Heero's codename, which he thinks is highly appropriate. He also saves Relena from OZ's hit squad and tells her about Heero's past. He was killed with the other scientists (and Quinze) when they re-activated Peacemillion's engines to propel Libra way from Earth.

The engineer and creator of Heavyarms. Distinguished by his prosthetic nose and spiked gray hair. He was opposed to Operation Meteor, but Heavyarms' assigned pilot, Trowa Barton was prepared to rat S out to his father Dekim. An engineer killed Trowa, and a nameless young engineer who had been working on Heavyarms offered to take the dead man's name and Gundam. Killed on Peacemillion along with the other Gundam engineers. His specialty is ballistic weaponry.

The engineer and creator of Sandrock and Quatre's mentor. He is rather fat, with a receding hairline and a thin, dark mustache that stands straight out at each end. A worker at MO-III, he originally met Quatre when the young heir's shuttle was hijacked by the Maganac Corps. After learning of the youth's strength and resolve, he ended up taking a job as Quatre's tutor while borrowing Winner family resources to build Sandrock. Realizing that he couldn't undo Quatre's kind nature, he rejected Operation Meteor and sent the boy to Earth to join the Maganacs. He appears to be the most reluctant of the engineers to reveal information on the Gundams. It was him that left the blueprint of Wing Zero behind in the facility where he developed the Sandrock. Killed with the other engineers on Peacemillion.

The engineer and creator of Shenlong and Wufei's mentor. Of imposing stature and spear-bald, the powerful and athletic Master O is an expert in many forms of martial arts, a skill he brings to the mobile suits he creates. It is implied that he is somehow related to Wufei, perhaps an uncle. Unlike the other Gundam engineers, he wanted his young ward to follow Operation Meteor, disregarding his wife's death; this led to a rift between Wufei and Master O. Was killed with the other engineers on Peacemillion.

The female lead of Gundam Wing, Relena first appears as the daughter of the Alliance's vice foreign minister. When he's called to work, she must walk home alone, setting up her encounter with Heero Yuy, who had washed ashore on the beach near the spaceport. The meeting with this mysterious youth spurs the young girl to learn more about him, despite his threats towards her. While visiting a colony with her father, Relena witnesses Lady Une try to kill him with a bomb. As he dies, Darlian reveals that Relena is actually the Peacecraft's daughter and heiress to the Sanc Kingdom. Learning of her family's ideals, Relena reforms her homeland and opens it as a neutral nation, a haven to those who wish to escape the growing war. This caused the Romefeller Foundation to focus much of its attention on the nation, especially when Heero and Quatre came there to get away from OZ's assassination order. With another invasion threatening to destroy the Kingdom, Relena surrendered to protect her people and formally dissolved the nation. At Dorothy Catalonia's urging she was made the public face of Romefeller, formally declared Queen of the World. However, though this was merely meant to be a public relations move, it backfired when more of Romefeller supported Queen Relena than Duke Dermail and began moving towards peace and disarmament. When Relena's brother Milliardo appeared as the leader of White Fang, Treize relieved her of her crown so that he could fight his old friend personally. Freed from her responsibility, Relena went to space in the hopes of talking some sense into her brother, who responded by locking her in a room on Libra. She was eventually rescued by Heero and made her peace with Une as the war came to an end. When the Earth Sphere United Nation formed, Relena became the vice foreign minister, helping spearhead the creation of Preventer and disarmament talks. Relena was kidnapped by Dekim Barton, who wanted to use her symbolic power to ensure Mariemaia's dominance, but the young princess instead encouraged the citizens to rebel. After Dekim's defeat and the end of mobile suit warfare, Relena moved on to her next project, the terraformation of Mars. Although Heero's feelings for Relena are never fully revealed, it is made plain that Relena is in love with him.

Once one of Heero Yuy's top aides, Dekim was present when Yuy was assassinated. From that moment on, he began plotting his revenge. However, even after he killed Odin Lowe, the man who had shot Yuy, he was not satisfied. Dekim was convinced that the only way to make things equal after the decades of colonial oppression was for the colonies to take over the Earth, with the Barton family as the ruling family. To that end, he tracked down five of the engineers who had created the Tallgeese and commissioned them to create Gundams for use with his ultimate plan, Operation Meteor. Unfortunately for Dekim, the engineers and their young pilots didn't agree with this plan and stole the Gundams, using them instead to fight for the colonies' independence their own way. Infuriated, Dekim began working out a new version of Operation Meteor. Using the Serpent mobile suit left behind by OZ and the fact that his daughter supposedly had an affair with Treize Khushrenada, Dekim launched another Operation Meteor on Christmas Eve AC 196. However, his plan began to crumble thanks to the intervention of the Gundam pilots and later the common people themselves. Attempting to kill Relena Darlian, Dekim himself was shot by one of his soldiers, who immediately apologized to Treize for betraying his vision.

Marine City Attack - Devestator, the gestalt attacks Marine City during their annual turnip festival. The target is a subspace-nuclear hybrid reactor. The Union and the Confederation send units to stop the green giant. This is Duo's first ever mission he has commanded for the Union.
